I Just Know It's BS ... But I Have't Tried It Yet

Have you ever noticed how quickly naysayers jump on "unconventional" products they have never tried, letting us know they are worthless -- shamelessly admitting they have no direct experience with the item they are putting down? For example, anything with the word quantum in the name seems to set some people off. Do you have your favorite examples of this phenomenon? What do you make of this irrational approach to high end audio that is often suffixed by LOL and exclamation points for emphasis?

Grannyring,

You're right about that.

Lots of good comments. I especially concur with those by Almarg & Brownsfan.

Plus, my experience correlates quite nicely with Grannyring's:

I have found the best gear and parts by going down the road less traveled rather than the beaten path of safe and big. Many gems in the unknown and nowhere is that more true then this industry.

The bottom line for me is that I listen to music not statistics nor empirical measurements...and hence, I trust my ears to be the final arbiter....

Don't really care about that.

Sabai,
I'd prefer to use that when I or anyone else can trust own ears. There are plenty of cases when anyone just can't trust ears.
